The Drunk Monkey is a Survival Machine

You are not The Drunk Monkey, your mind, that talking in your head. You don’t say “I mind,” you say “My mind” like you possess a mind. Yet, how often is The Drunk Monkey directing your choices in life? How often do you make a decision to follow your dreams and The Drunk Monkey talks you out of it? The answer for most of us is “almost always”.
Is the drunk monkey your master or servant?
How often are you listening to The Drunk Monkey say things to you?
How often does The Drunk Monkey have an opinion on your life? Always!
Once you see The Drunk Monkey for what it is, you will spontaneously jump to another level of happiness and peace. You will be in action without fear.
Consider these three important thoughts:
Thinking is automatic.
Thinking is not who I am.
Thinking is Survival.
Begin noticing that every aspect of your being is designed to survive.
Start to observe that your attitude, personality, mind-set, opinions, qualities and characteristics are all designed to keep you alive longer. Each of your aspects are not designed to be goal achieving mechanisms. The aspects of your personality… your point of view, your opinions about the world… are not designed to bring you more happiness or peace and they are certainly not designed to give you satisfaction.
Consider it’s the opposite.

The Drunk Monkey: The nonstop talking in your head. A limited and confined set of misperceptions about the world and how it operates. Your mind, the drunk monkey is an independent, autonomous, organism
Your biology is an enormous cluster of cells that have come together because survival is easier in groups. You are not your Drunk Monkey, just like you are not your body. You are the one observing your body. Your mind, the talking in your head, The Drunk Monkey, is just a part of your body.
Your Body and Your Mind Operate Independently of You
Are you beating your heart right now? Are you commanding yourself to breathe? Take a moment to close your eyes, take a deep breath, hold it and observe your heart beating. Do it now.
Who is doing that? Not you! Your body operates independently of you. You are just along for the ride. Take another moment with your eyes closed and notice how your body is moving, twitching, repositioning itself and doing its thing totally independent of you. Close your eyes now and notice.
Now ponder the mental exercise of focusing on the apple. The Drunk Monkey does what it wants, independent of you. Close your eyes and focus on a red apple. Try it now.
Interesting, isn’t it? You say, “Focus on an apple” and The Drunk Monkey starts free associating “Apple, apple trees, trees, fields, grass, hay fever, I’m allergic to grass, why do people have noses? What if we didn’t have a nose, wouldn’t that be easier? My friend Bob sure has a big nose. He’s always picking it to. I hate that. I don’t like that he’s late either. Why don’t people respect my time.” and on and on The Drunk Monkey will go.
Sure, you can control The Drunk Monkey for a moment but it quickly lapses back in to a sea of insanity!
Are you starting to see that The Drunk Monkey is not your friend, not your ally, not on your side, not good for living your dreams? The Drunk Monkey/your mind is a part of your body. Your body’s genetics are programmed for survival. Everything your body does is survival-based. And that’s great! That means you don’t have to worry about survival. Your body has got it covered.
